Answer:

2x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 1st integer

x+1 = next consecutive integer

The sum is

x+ (x+1)

Combine like terms

2x+1

Answer:

"Let's see if it works with the two consecutive integers 5 and 6:

let x = 5

so x + 1 = 6

5 + 6 = 11, so:

2x + 1 = 11

2x = 10 (subtracted 1 from both sides)

x = 5 (divided both sides by 2)

it works!"
